Birdgard Rubber

Used in the transformer industry, the Birdgard rubber is designed to resemble a cup and is used to prevent electrical shorts by protecting against animals such as birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and snakes. Our electrical insulation products are comprehensive, covering the bare points of electrical systems. The Birdgard insulation set is specifically designed to keep birds and other foreign objects away from transformers, which could otherwise cause electrical shorts and explosions.

Therefore, the design and material selection for Birdgard are crucial for its application. Since Birdgard is used outdoors, exposed to sun, wind, and rain for many years and is difficult to replace, material durability is essential to maximize its lifespan. The materials used to produce Birdgard must be electrical insulators to prevent electricity from passing through.
